Make tea of sassafras and sarsaparilla with clove cinnamon and allspice. Soak over night. I like to use burdock root (peel, slice thin, and keep under water with lemon wedges). Add ratio of 2:1 vinegar to waters. Salt and sugar to taste. Add tea and boil (keep tea basin there). You must cook burdock until tender, then jar and as needed. (If you are scared of the root beer flavor, you can use 5-spice; it works great too.)

What’s your secret to staying young?

I am a 43-year-old who was recently asked on the street if I was over 21. I’m genetically wrinkle-free. I know it drives my 43-year-old wife crazy, even if she won’t admit it.
